If I'm not mistaken the most famous Lyle Myhr I know of, is or was a Herald reporter. That quote is not original. It is an adaptation of the original quote by Martin Niemller, a German anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor from WWII. The original quote goes like this: Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Kommunist.Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,habe ich nicht protestiert;ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.Als sie die Juden holten,habe ich nicht protestiert;ich war ja kein Jude.Als sie mich holten,gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.(In English)When the Nazis came for the communists,I remained silent;I was not a communist.When they locked up the social democrats,I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.When they came for the trade unionists,I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.When they came for the Jews,I remained silent;I wasn't a Jew.When they came for me,there was no one left to speak out. Be Wise Everybody!!! ;-) SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
